2/26/08: Amy Irvine's Trespass

Salt Lake City, UT – Tuesday, Doug talks to author and conservationist Amy Irvine. She's just published a new book called Trespass: Living on the Edge of the Promised Land. It's a memoir of Irvine's move to the desert in the wake of her father's suicide and the struggle to find her place in the rural, conservative community. It's also an elegy though - to the rugged landscape of the Colorado Plateau and to our dwindling connection to the land.

On Wednesday, February 27th, Ken Sanders Rare Books will host a reception for Amy Irvine. It begins at 6:00 p.m. at the store - 268 South 200 East.

Amy Irvine will give a reading Thursday evening, February 28th at the Salt Lake City Public Library - 210 East 400 South. That begins at 7:00 p.m.
